IF statments in Adobe Acrobat DC

[henryc33381964]

Hi all,

I’ve created my first fillable pdf by using the form function. I am new to this Javascript so I was wondering is there a way of automatically displaying a letter which corresponds to the mark. e.g A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and F=0.

So when I enter 3 in the marks column it will automatically display C in the grade column. I believe it’s a series of IF statement but not sure how to apply it in the field.

Thanking you in advance.

You can use something like this in your "Grade" field as custom calculation script.

var v = this.getField("Mark").valueAsString;
if (v == ""){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "";
}
if (v == "0"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "F";
}
if (v == "1"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "E";
}
if (v == "2"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "D";
}
if (v == "3"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "C";
}
if (v == "4"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "B";
}
if (v == "5"){
   this.getField("Grade").value = "A";
}

Hi,

There is nothing wrong with the above but you could also use a switch statement,

switch ( this.getField("Mark").valueAsString) {
case "0":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "F";
   break;
case "1":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "E";
    break;
case "2":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "D";
    break;
case "3":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "C";
    break;
case "4":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "B";
    break;
case "5":
   this.getField("Grade").value = "A";
    break;
default:
   this.getField("Grade").value = "";
   break
}

Thank you very much to both NesaNurani and BarlaeDC for taking your time and giving me such a timely response. I was wondering if I had a range of scores in each grade for example: F (1-3 marks) and E (4-5 marks) what would the syntax be?

Thanking you kindly.

If you mean to get F  when you write  1,2 or 3 then use like this (v == "1" || v == "2" || v == "3")
